Moen Eva Brushed Nickel One-Handle High Arch Bathroom Faucet Review

I finally remodeled my 1950s bathroom, and my plumber suggested Moen for the faucets. He's a stand up guy and has worked on my plumbing for 10 years, so I trust his judgement. He fixed my old faucets over and over, and I don't think I'll be seeing as much of my plumber now.

I love the Moen Eva bathroom sink faucet for a variety of reasons.

First, Eva comes in brushed nickel finish. I like that better than the chrome and other finishes, because brushed nickel just looks nice and also does not show water splashes much at all. If the faucet does get a little spotty with this hard water here, it wipes down fast and easy with bathroom cleaner or Windex.

The Eva Moen faucet is a single piece rather than being a spigotwith two handles. I've never really liked the two handles. I think that dates back to my grandparents' spigots. When I was a kid and washed my hair in the sink, I could not get both turned. So, I had super hot water or freezing cold water. Then the turn handles on the old Gerber bathroom fixtures striped out all the time. So, the Moen, with a ball inside to ease it one direction or the other for temperature and up for on, suits me great. Also, the Moen faucet does not take the hard wear that the turn handles did with two boys in the house.

Another plus with one piece rather than three is that it only meant one hole to cut in the marble sink and counter top.

On top of that, it's easier to clean up and around one fixture versus three.

Moen has both low and high arch models for the bathrom sink spigot, and Eva is one of the high arch models. It's great for anyone who does wash his or her hair in the sink. It's also nicer if you lean over and rinse when brushing your teeth at the sink. Another good thing is that you can get a cleaning bucket up under the high arch. My old spigot was set low, and I much prefer this high arch. I also think it just looks prettier.

The damper piece in the back of the Moen pulls up to close off the sink, and it actually works. My old one never did hold water. But, I can put delicate clothes in the sink to soak, and the water is still in there when I get home. It makes a nice seal. The pull handle is just a little awkward to grab and pull with it placed directly behind the spigot, but we all got used to it pretty quickly.

I'm really glad that I finally got the bathroom fixed up. It was really awful before and things broke all the time. So, I saved up and got nice quality all round including the bathroom fixtures. Yeah. I could have bought cheaper faucets, but I wanted ones that would look good and will last. The Moen bathroom sink faucet was all I hoped for and more. I would recommend this brand to anyone.
